Jersey City, NJ (January 31, 2013) -- The Evergreen Seafarer Training Center (ESTC) has been certified by leading class society ClassNK to provide training courses in Bridge Resource Management (BRM), Electronic Chart Display Information Systems (ECDIS) and Engine-room Resource Management (ERM). The official certificate was presented to Anchor Chang, President of Evergreen Marine Corp., by ClassNK Executive Vice President Koichi Fujiwara at a special ceremony held at the center on January 31st, 2013.

While ESTC has already attained the ISO9001: 2008 standard, the new certification confirms that training programs at the Center meet the stringent requirements of ClassNK as well as those of an IMO model course and the STCW Code.

Situated in Taoyuan County, Taiwan, the Evergreen Seafarer Training Center was established in August 1999 to carry out advanced training for seafarers. In June 2001 ESTC became the first training center in Taiwan to be awarded the ISO-9001:2000 certificate by DNV (Det Norske Veritas), which also recognized the Center's compliance with three additional sets of standards governing; Rules for a Maritime Training Center; Rules for a Maritime Simulator Center and the Rules for Maritime Simulator Equipment.

Today, the center is one of the world's most sophisticated maritime training establishments and continues to provide training courses for Taiwanese and foreign seafarers. Since its inauguration over thirteen years ago, more than 30,000 seafarers have undergone training at the facility.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 31, 2013) – U.S. Bank and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) have agreed to extend their long-term contract, enabling the DoD to continue to pay its freight invoices electronically through U.S. Bank Freight Payment.

Using U.S. Bank Freight Payment to process and pay invoices saves the DoD and its partner agencies hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in freight invoice processing costs. U.S. Bank Freight Payment also gives the government a transparent supply chain with robust data capture and reporting, allowing the DoD to more effectively manage its transportation program.

“We are proud of our partnership with the DoD and what we have achieved in our joint efforts to attain greater efficiency and measurable savings through payment automation,” said Kurt Adams, president of U.S. Bank Corporate Payment Systems. “We continue to make significant, ongoing investments in expanding the program for the benefit of the department, its constituents and the American taxpayer.”

The U.S. Bank- DoD collaboration dates back to 1999, when the first of a continuing series of one-year contracts was signed. The collaboration has grown from 69 processed invoices in the first year to more than 11 million by the end of 2012.

New capabilities are continually being added. In 2012, the DOD worked with the bank and industry partners to automate the process by which providers of the “non-temporary storage” (NTS) of military household goods are paid. The elimination of paper processing represents additional millions in savings for the military and its NTS contractors.

“Cash flow for our impacted members has been exponentially improved, in some cases by months, through the DoD’s adoption of U.S. Bank Freight Payment for NTS,” said Chuck White, director of Military & Government Relations at the International Association of Movers, one of the DoD’s service providers. “This is significant, given that many of these contractors are small businesses dependent on timely payment for their operations.”

Other federal agencies that partner with U.S. Bank under terms of this contract include the State Department, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and the Department of Energy.

More businesses are getting involved in international supply chains, with some major companies moving to Mexico for a portion of their supply chain. Latin American Cargo, a freighting and personal moving company, comments on this phenomenon.

Staten Island, New York - January 31, 2013 - Mexico has been benefiting from international attention as more companies see it as a destination for portions of their business. Latin American Cargo (LAC), a popular freighter and personal moving company, has been paying attention to how many companies have been moving to Mexico. This, in part, has been due to the proximity to the United States as a final destination for goods, and Mexico as a destination for manufacturing.

This article about the American company 3D Robotics discusses how valuable Mexico has been to their company’s business model. While Chinese labor may be cheaper than Mexican, their decision of moving to Mexico lies in the required speed of processing and not just the final costs. Also, rather than requiring the company to make orders in bulk to get a good deal in both manufacturing and shipping, having this step in their supply chain in Mexico gave them more flexibility in their purchasing choices.

Latin American Cargo has been heavily invested in Mexico and many other Latin American countries for over a decade, and understands that these locations have much to offer many different varieties of companies in Canada and the United States. LAC has also been privileged enough to offer services as an international personal moving company to those wishing to relocate to or from Mexico and the rest of Latin America. This, while not as telling as the trends in businesses and their supply chains, does add to the evidence LAC sees of Latin America becoming a destination for a wider variety of peoples.

While manufacturing has indeed seen it’s popularity rising across Latin America it is not the only sector worth mentioning. In countries like Peru and Brazil there are abundant resources which also form a major point along the supply chains of many companies. Many sectors are not just moving to Mexico for the production and sale of their goods, but also to many other countries for the acquisition of the raw resources needed in their production.

Latin American Cargo feels that this is neither a new nor unexpected phenomenon, with their many years of experience having pointed to the value of Latin America for years.

Latin American Cargo (LAC) is a shipping, freighting and personal moving company specializing in shipments going to and from different areas in Latin America. Recently gaining NVOCC status in the USA, LAC has expanded its abilities to serve customers who need to ship their goods from Canada and the US territories to Latin America. LAC is experienced with air, sea and ground transport, and it’s Mexfreight division, short for Mexican Freight, handles almost exclusively the transport to and from Mexico and acts primarily as a road transportation service.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va.—January 29, 2013—Allied Logistics, a West-Virginia-based warehousing and logistics company, today announced that an Allied-affiliated company—Hopewell Management, LLC—has joined with Industrial Real Estate Group (IRG) and Gilco International to purchase the former Masco facilities in Waverly, Ohio.

The 228-acre, 11-building, 2.5-million-square-foot complex was used by Masco to manufacture cabinets until it closed in June 2011, eliminating 1,400 jobs.

“We are extremely pleased to partner with a successful, qualified and knowledgeable partner like IRG,” said Allied Logistics Chairman and CEO Lake Polan. “There are a number of synergies and opportunities between our two organizations.”

The Masco complex features an on-site electrical substation, rail access to both CSX and Norfolk Southern railroads, more than 500 trailer spaces, 175 docks with 21 drive-ins and more than 30,000 spare feet of office space.

“This is a superb campus with excellent buildings designed to support a range of activities, including manufacturing and logistics,” said Polan. “We think this is an outstanding facility and location, and IRG is an ideal partner, for Allied’s expansion into Ohio. Waverly has a great, highly skilled workforce, many of whom need jobs. We’re hoping to provide some of those jobs.”

The former Masco facility is centrally located between Columbus, Cincinnati and Charleston, W.Va. and about 50 miles from Rickenbacker Inland Port, a global multi-modal logistics hub that is home to a network of air, road and rail transport companies supported by freight forwarders, consolidators, customs brokers and third-party logistics providers.

The complex is also less than 100 miles from Allied Logistics’ Huntington, W.Va. headquarters. “The Waverly facility has excellent potential to become a strong part of our logistics network,” Polan said.

Allied Logistics will lease 150,000 square feet of the premises to establish a warehousing and logistics operation. Currently the company is working to locate businesses that can utilize space in the Central Ohio market. They are also working with IRG and local economic development officials to market the space to third-party logistics providers and to manufacturers and distributors in the region who prefer to outsource their logistics rather than leasing warehousing to operate themselves.

“This facility is ideally suited for distribution. The large size and high clearances of the buildings and the site’s multi-modal transportation access offer a wide range of opportunities for a number of different businesses to locate here,” said Jeff Smith, President of Allied Logistics West Virginia Operations. Allied Logistics plans to have an operation in place by the second quarter of 2013.

Allied Logistics has a long history of revitalizing industrial sites that once served as the economic backbone for communities. In West Virginia these include the former Liggett & Meyers and Huntington Tobacco markets in Huntington, the former Creasy warehouse in Kenova, the former Hecks headquarters and distribution center in Nitro and the former Hyperlogistics property in Vienna.

Since purchasing the former General Electric and Genicom facility in Waynesboro, Va. nearly a decade ago, Allied Logistics rebranded the 340,000-square-foot building into an office, manufacturing and distribution complex known as Solutions Place. Today, Solutions Place is a thriving commercial hub for about a dozen new and established companies.

In November 2012, Allied Logistics and its corporate parent Allied Realty Company led the transformation of another Waynesboro property, the former home of carpet manufacturers Wayn-Tex LLC and later Mohawk Industries. Reborn as Delphine Enterprise Center, the 464,000-square-foot office, warehousing and manufacturing facility has been renovated to accommodate users of all sizes.

ABOUT ALLIED LOGISTICS:

Allied Logistics, operated originally as Allied Warehousing Services, Inc., entered the warehousing business in 1970 when its parent company, Allied Realty Company (founded in 1922), acquired a 100,000-square-foot, multi-floor warehouse. The company has grown to operate more than 2 million square feet of public and contract warehousing with nine facilities in the central and western areas of West Virginia and western Virginia. As the company grew, Allied Logistics was created to consolidate many of the services that had preceded it, including Allied Transportation Services Company, Reo Distribution Services and Allied Processing Services.

Washington, D.C. January 28, 2013 – Two thousand transportation officials and high-tech leaders from across the country will gather in Nashville, TN from April 22 – 24, 2013 to explore solutions for easing traffic congestion, financing the nation’s transportation system, and advancing life-saving vehicle technologies.

As governments at all levels are being asked to do more with less, participants will also examine ways in which intelligent transportation systems (ITS) can make the nation’s roads and public transit systems more efficient and cost-effective, while providing commuters and highway users with more convenient, modern travel options.

The Intelligent Transportation Society of America’s (ITS America) 23rd Annual Meeting & Exposition will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, and will showcase the latest ITS technology solutions with an Exhibit Hall and panel discussions featuring national, regional and local transportation officials and innovation leaders.

The three-day event will highlight the latest transportation innovations that are being developed and implemented across the United States – solutions such as connected vehicle technology, intelligent traffic signals, advanced traffic and incident management systems, electronic tolling and pricing systems, smart mobility apps, and real-time traffic, transit, navigation and parking information.

At the event, leading transportation professionals from public agencies, private industry and academia will also explore new ideas and opportunities for improving safety and mobility and modernizing the nation’s infrastructure.

This year’s program will also feature:
* State DOT CEO Roundtable – Transportation CEO’s from around the country will share their experience and ideas for how states can better utilize ITS technologies to address critical transportation challenges, as well as what changes are on the horizon as a result of last year’s transportation reauthorization bill, MAP-21.
* Legislative Sessions – Attendees will have a unique opportunity to hear from and provide input to policymakers who have jurisdiction over transportation and technology legislation.
* U.S. DOT Programs Update – Senior officials from across the U.S. Department of Transportation will present the latest developments in federal highway, transit and safety programs, including the ITS Strategic Plan and what lies ahead for 2013 and beyond.
* ITS Spotlights – Private sector innovation leaders will discuss the latest developments in the ITS field, including recent deployment projects that are making a real-world impact on transportation safety, mobility, the environment and the economy.
* Town Hall Meetings – These new, interactive sessions will focus on controversial and timely subjects including innovative financing alternatives for the nation’s transportation system.
* Training – State, city and county transportation professionals can register for training courses on numerous ITS-related subjects. The training sessions are hosted by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

"We've been successfully using Descartes' Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and Advanced Commercial Information (ACI) compliance solutions to manage security filings for shipments into the United States and Canada for a number of years. Working with Descartes to deploy their ACAS solution was a natural extension," said Steve Hutter, Director of Aviation Security at OHL. "The key benefit is that we're able to repurpose our existing air messaging traffic moving via Descartes' Global Logistics Network (GLN) for use within the ACAS solution."

ACAS was designed to provide Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with more time to analyze security filing data for US-bound air cargo shipments prior to the shipment being loaded on the aircraft. By receiving information about the parties and commodities involved in an
inbound air shipment earlier from the forwarder as opposed to the carrier, CBP hopes to be able to better identify high-risk shipments destined for the United States. In addition, the program will speed up the movement of lower-risk shipments and leave more resources to focus on higher-risk shipments for additional screening.

"Being able to leverage the house bill information automatically received by the GLN from a forwarder's enterprise system and use it to file to CBP directly, streamlines the entire filing process and increases data quality," said Eric Bossdorf, Vice President Global
Logistics Network at Descartes. "We're pleased that our broad suite of compliance solutions for the air cargo industry is helping to make the logistics operations of leaders like OHL more efficient."

21,000 Chicago Deep-Dish Pizzas will be sent to Soldiers in Afghanistan and Kuwait for Super Bowl Sunday

Plantation, FL and Chicago, IL – January 24, 2013: Pizzas 4 Patriots is teaming up with the world’s leading international express shipping provider, DHL Express, to quarterback the special delivery of 21,000 pizzas to U.S. servicemen and servicewomen on Super Bowl Sunday – America’s biggest day of the year for eating pizza.

With DHL Express donating the services of its global express shipping network to the non-profit organization, Pizzas 4 Patriots will be able to send enough deep dish pizza to feed every soldier stationed in Afghanistan and Kuwait.

“Since 2008, we have had the pleasure of providing our brave U.S. servicemen and women overseas with the most delicious, authentic ‘slices of home’, letting them know we care and we are thinking of them,” said Ret. Master Sergeant Mark Evans, founder of Pizzas 4 Patriots. “While our soldiers’ presence in the Middle East continues to become smaller, they still need to know that we appreciate the sacrifices they make for us, our families and our country.”

The DHL Express team will be packing and loading all 21,000 ready-to-bake, Chicago-style pizzas from Illinois-based Great Kitchens into DHL cargo jets and shipping them to the troops stationed at several military bases across Afghanistan and Kuwait. A send off event hosted by Illinois Governor Pat Quinn is scheduled for January 29 at 10:00 a.m. at the Thompson Center in downtown Chicago.

“While we can never do enough to honor the many sacrifices our men and women in uniform make, we should make every effort to show our appreciation,” Governor Quinn said. “I want to thank DHL Express and Pizza 4 Patriots for their extraordinary effort in giving our troops the chance to enjoy the game with the food they grew up with.”
Once in the Middle East, the shipment will be distributed to Camp Bastion, Bagram Airbase and Kandahar – all in Afghanistan – as well as Camp Arifjan in Kuwait and various Forward Operating Bases in both countries. DHL Express will provide door-to-door, final delivery for the distribution, working closely with the U.S. military to ensure the pizzas are delivered fresh and ready at the various military bases.

“We are honored to leverage our global network, so U.S. troops can enjoy a taste of home this Super Bowl Sunday,” said Ian Clough, CEO of DHL Express U.S. “We are fortunate to have an experienced, committed staff that truly understands the intricacies of international shipping. While DHL Express handles urgent shipments like this across borders every day, I know our teams are working extra hard to ensure the pizzas arrive fresh and in excellent condition.”

Since 2008, Pizzas 4 Patriots has worked with DHL Express to send more than 122,000 pizzas in support of U.S. military personnel overseas.

Davos-Klosters, Switzerland – 23 January 2013 – Business and governments are increasingly concerned about the lack of resilience that exists in global supply chains, according to the World Economic Forum’s Building Resilience in Supply Chains report. The report, an initiative of the World Economic Forum’s Risk Response Network in collaboration with Accenture, reveals that 80% of companies worldwide see better protection of supply chains as a priority, given the persistence of external threats and vulnerabilities such as oil dependence and information fragmentation.

Top supply chain risks identified in the report by corporate and government executives included conflict and political unrest, and natural disasters and extreme weather conditions such as the effects of Super Storm Sandy, which closed ports and airports in the north-eastern US in November 2012 and prompted localized fuel rationing, and the floods in Thailand in 2011 and 2012. The report also found that cyber risk and rising insurance and trade finance are emerging areas of concern.

The report calls for four steps to help integrate resilience thinking into supply chain management:

* Institutionalize a risk assessment process rooted in a broad-based and neutral international body
* Mobilize international standards bodies to develop and harmonize the adoption of resilience standards
* Incentivize organizations to follow agile, adaptable strategies to improve common resilience
* Expand the use of data-sharing platforms for risk identification and response

“Improving cooperation on risk and resilience remains a hard thing to do, but is particularly important for supply chains, as they are a critical and strategic part of national infrastructure,” added Sean Doherty, Director of Supply Chain & Transport Industry at the World Economic Forum.

The report also pinpointed notable differences in perspectives that stem from government responsibility for public security and long-term risks compared to industry’s focus on ensuring that supply chains work effectively on a day-to-day basis. Differences in regional perspectives – attributed to local experiences with supply chain disruption and growth expectations – underscored the need to develop a harmonized resilience framework supported with common supply chain standards.

To help government, industries and consumers cooperate, the report calls for a common risk vocabulary, improved data and information sharing along and between supply chains, and more flexible response strategies.

“Global supply chains face a broad range of risks, from natural disasters and extreme weather to economic uncertainties and the emerging threats like cybercrime. These become more challenging as supply chains become longer and more complex,” said Sander van ‘t Noordende, Group Chief Executive, Management Consulting, Accenture. “However, adaptable organizations using robust analytical capabilities can help inform management and facilitate rapid responses to their changing environment.”

Dynamic Resilience, the theme of this year’s World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, helps supply chain and trade management move beyond prescriptive regulatory frameworks – which historically focused on singular risks – to more flexible and agile public-private partnerships that help organizations prepare and respond to a broad range of potential disruptions in the future.

• Record fourth-quarter and full-year 2012 carloads, revenues and revenue ton-miles.
• Fourth-quarter 2012 net income was C$610 million, or C$1.41 per diluted share, compared with net income of C$592 million or, C$1.32 per diluted share, for the year-earlier quarter.
• Q4-2012 diluted earnings per share (EPS) of C$1.41 increased eight per cent over year-earlier adjusted diluted EPS of C$1.30 (adjusted net income of C$581 million), which excluded an income tax recovery. (1)
• Full-year 2012 net income was C$2,680 million, or C$6.12 per diluted share, compared with net income of C$2,457 million, or C$5.41 per diluted share, for 2011.
• Full-year 2012 adjusted diluted EPS increased 16 per cent to C$5.61, with adjusted 2012 net income of C$2,456 million versus adjusted net income of C$2,194 million in 2011. (1)
• Q4-2012 operating income increased 10 per cent to C$922 million, while full-year 2012 operating income rose 12 per cent to C$3,685 million.
• Fourth-quarter 2012 operating ratio improved by 1.1 points to 63.6 per cent; full-year 2012 operating ratio was 62.9 per cent, a 0.6-point improvement.
• 2012 free cash flow totalled C$1,006 million, after voluntary pension plan contributions of C$700 million, compared with free cash flow of C$1,175 million for 2011. (1)

Claude Mongeau, president and chief executive officer, said: "CN's team of railroaders delivered impressive fourth-quarter results on the strength of a seven per cent increase in revenues, capping a very strong 2012 performance.

"Thanks to our supply chain collaboration focus and solid execution, CN's growth last year continued to outpace that of the overall economy, generating the highest volumes and earnings in Company history.

"In 2012, we experienced strong growth in commodities related to oil and gas, particularly crude oil, and saw continued market share gains in overseas and domestic intermodal. CN also benefited from strong coal and petroleum coke exports, increased wheat and soybean exports, as well as higher lumber and panels shipments to the United States."
Foreign currency impact on results

Although CN reports its earnings in Canadian dollars, a large portion of its revenues and expenses is denominated in U.S. dollars. As such, the Company's results are affected by exchange-rate fluctuations. On a constant currency basis that excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, CN's fourth-quarter 2012 net income would have been higher by C$11 million, or C$0.03 per diluted share, while its 2012 net income would have been lower by C$14 million, or C$0.03 per diluted share. (1)

Positive 2013 outlook, increased dividend (2)?Mongeau said: "For 2013, CN anticipates continued gradual improvement in the economy and further growth opportunities in intermodal, energy and other resource markets. Despite the challenge of an approximate C$150-million headwind related to increased pension expense and the impact of depreciation studies, CN is aiming for high single-digit growth in 2013 diluted earnings per share over adjusted diluted earnings per share of C$5.61 for 2012. CN also expects to generate 2013 free cash flow in the range of C$800 million to C$900 million, including a normalized, higher level of cash taxes. (1)

"Given CN's strong balance sheet and its solid outlook for earnings and free cash flow generation, I am pleased to announce that the Company's Board of Directors has approved a 15 per cent increase in CN's 2013 quarterly common-share dividend."

Fourth-quarter 2012 revenues, traffic volumes and expenses?Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased by seven per cent to C$2,534 million. Revenues increased for coal (15 per cent), petroleum and chemicals (13 per cent), grain and fertilizers (11 per cent), intermodal (seven per cent), and automotive (five per cent). Revenues declined for forest products (two per cent), and metals and minerals (one per cent).Carloadings for the quarter rose three per cent to 1,270 thousand.

Revenue ton-miles, measuring the relative weight and distance of rail freight transported by CN, increased by eight per cent over the year-earlier quarter.

Rail freight revenue per revenue ton-mile, a measurement of yield defined as revenue earned on the movement of a ton of freight over one mile, declined by one per cent.
Total operating expenses increased by five per cent to C$1,612 million.

The rise in total revenues was largely attributable to higher freight volumes, due in part to growth in North American and Asian economies, and the Company's performance above market conditions in a number of segments, as well as increased volumes in the second quarter as a result of a labor disruption at a key competitor; freight rate increases; the impact of a higher fuel surcharge as a result of year-over-year increases in applicable fuel prices and higher volumes; and the positive translation impact of the weaker Canadian dollar on U.S. dollar-denominated revenues.

Carloadings for the year increased four per cent to 5,059 thousand. Revenue ton-miles increased by seven per cent over 2011, while rail freight revenue per revenue ton-mile increased by three per cent.

Total operating expenses for 2012 increased by nine per cent to C$6,235 million, mainly due to higher labor and fringe benefits expense, increased purchased services and material expense, as well as increased fuel costs.

Forward-Looking Statements:

Certain information included in this news release constitutes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and under Canadian securities laws. CN cautions that, by their nature, these forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company cautions that its assumptions may not materialize and that current economic conditions render such assumptions, although reasonable at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results or performance of the Company or the rail industry to be materially different from the outlook or any future results or performance implied by such statements. To the extent that CN has provided guidance that are non-GAAP financial measures, the Company may not be able to provide a reconciliation to the GAAP measures, due to unknown variables and uncertainty related to future results. Key assumptions used in determining forward-looking information are set forth below.

Key assumptions:

CN has made a number of economic and market assumptions in preparing its 2013 outlook. The Company is forecasting that North American industrial production for the year will increase by about 2.0 per cent. CN also expects U.S. housing starts to be in the range of 950,000 units and U.S. motor vehicles sales to be approximately 15 million units. In addition, CN is assuming that 2013/2014 grain crop production in both Canada and the U.S. will be in-line with their respective five-year averages. With respect to the 2012/2013 crop, production in Canada was slightly above the five-year average while production in the U.S. was below the five-year average.

VANCOUVER, Jan. 21, 2013 - Informa Canada, a UK-based firm, is pleased to announce the inaugural Cargo Logistics Canada Expo & Conference (CLC), which will take place January 29 - 30, 2014, at the Vancouver Convention Centre West. CLC is a B2B platform to connect stakeholders in Canadian supply chains, fostering synergies between freight owners and movers. CLC is about opening new doors for sea, air, rail and road cargo collaboration on a regional, continental and international scale.

Partnerships:

Partnered with CLC are a diverse group of associations representing the entire supply chain spectrum. As a result, CLC will gather the broadest group of stakeholders in sea, air, rail and road freight ever assembled in Canada. The Canadian International Freight Forwarders Association (CIFFA) is one of more than a dozen prestigious Supporting Associations:

"CIFFA is excited to be a Supporting Association of the inaugural Cargo Logistics Canada Expo & Conference. It is through opportunities like CLC, where all supply chain stakeholders gather to support and promote the industry, that CIFFA is able to achieve its mission. We anticipate that CLC will provide a national platform for the entire freight sector to come together in an atmosphere of learning and networking" states Ruth Snowden, Executive Director, CIFFA.

Canada's Platform for New Innovations:

Leading suppliers from the freight, logistics, materials handling and supply chain sectors will exhibit and showcase the latest innovations, making CLC the platform for new product launches in Canada. The centerpiece of the event will be a large and dynamic 50,000 sq. ft. exposition floor, featuring 150+ exhibits. Thousands of visitors from domestic and international markets will attend the event for networking and discovery.

Educating the Industry:

As part of this multi-layer approach, CLC will offer a top-tier professional development program relevant to the entire Canadian freight transportation industry. Featuring 40+ seminars and up to 100 speakers, the schedule will allow professionals to build their own program without being tied to a costly one-size-fits-all conference pass. This cost-effective format will make CLC accessible to the market, setting a new trend in logistics conferences.

CLC is Canada's Logistics Hub:

"Logistics is about finding efficiencies," states David Tyldesley, CLC Director. "Perhaps no other industry is more focused on this fundamental concept." Tyldesley notes, "To our knowledge, stakeholders in the air, sea, rail and road freight sectors have never been involved in one, cost-effective, consolidated event. Our approach emphasizes efficient collaboration and this has been extremely well-received."

Informa plc reports it is the largest publicly-owned organizer of conference and training events in the world with a diverse portfolio events that attract 1.1m+ attendees annually. For more information about Informa visit www.informaexhibitions.com or www.informacanada.com.

CN's senior officers will review the results and the railway's outlook in a conference call/webcast at 1 p.m. ET Jan. 22.

Haddonfield, NJ, USA, January 18, 2012 - Tucker Company Worldwide (www.tuckerco.com), a freight transportation company is lending a hand, or in this case a free of charge truck driver and 45’ tractor-trailer, to students of Haddonfield Memorial High School (“HMHS”). The students are providing a day of service on Martin Luthor King Day, helping coordinators in Seaside Heights, NJ, by delivering and installing approximately 120 recycled Christmas trees. The trees provide an effective, and environmentally friendly root system for beach dunes.

Haddonfield resident, and parent of Patrick Shea, an HMHS student, Jean Shea is spearheading the initiative. Shea asked Haddonfield Mayor Tish Columbi for the trees. Mayor Columbi offered the trees, and then reached out to Haddonfield residents, brothers Jim and Jeff Tucker, owners of 52 year old Tucker Company Worldwide. The Tuckers offered free transportation logistics coordination. One of Tucker’s premier truckload carrier partners, woman-owned Mustang Expediting, Inc., of Aston, PA then (www.mustangexpediting.com) offered its driver and equipment for free.

On Saturday, January 19 from 12:30 to 1:30, Tucker Company Worldwide staff, their families, along with families from Haddonfield’s J. F. Tatem Elementary School will also be lending a hand to their High School colleagues, by loading the trees into trailer at the Haddonfield Borough Public Works Complex. At approximately 8:30 on Monday, January 21, the truck and a bus full of HMHS students will leave and arrive in Seaside Heights later, to unload and help the installation.

Tucker Company Worldwide, Inc. is America’s oldest operating freight broker, and is based in Cherry Hill, NJ. Tucker specializes in arranging shipments of high value, high security, climate controlled and otherwise sensitive materials for some of the world’s best known brands. Tucker is active in its trade association and serves on a select committee reviewing motor carrier safety for the U. S. Department of Transportation. Tucker has been a first responder supporting the government with trucking of relief supplies for most of the nation’s natural and manmade disasters in the last 30 years.
